The 11-day-old Carr Fire, which has scorched almost 127,000 acres (54,000 hectares) in the scenic Shasta-Trinity region north of Sacramento, remains the largest and most fearsome of 18 significant wildfires burning across California and more than 100 nationwide.

But tens of thousands of others were still under evacuation orders. Firefighters were having some success keeping flames away from heavily populated areas, and officials began allowing some residents to return to their neighborhoods.

As for the River Fire to the south, Blankenheim said firefighters "had really good progress" tying in containment lines in an effort to protect Scotts Valley and keep the fire from jumping Scotts Valley Road.

Stoked by drought-parched vegetation and triple-digit temperatures, the Carr Fire has killed six people, destroyed 1,567 homes and other structures and blackened 131,896 acres.

The blaze has killed two firefighters.

As these fires grow in frequency and severity, the state's cost to fight them is also increasing - dramatically.

California fire officials said Saturday that the two fires about 100 miles (161 kilometers) north grew to nearly 250 square miles (648 kilometers).
